From my
personal opinion, I believe that former First Lady of the United States,
Michelle Obama is one of the smartest, most fierce women to walk the halls of
the White House. This woman brought an intellect and attitude to her job as
First Lady that is and will be unmatched for the years to come. In this poster
that reads “First Lady Michelle Obama as Madame America” shows Michelle putting
on her gloves in the shadows of the White House and the Capitol Building. What
really stood out to me was the fact that she was putting on her gloves with
those two prominent buildings in the background. This stood out to me because
knowing Michelle Obama, she is a very smart woman and knows politics and social
issues. With her putting on her gloves in front of both the White House and Capitol buildings, I am making
the interpretation that she is planning on running for either congress or even
president to do works such as fighting for both racial and gender equalities. Though I do not believe are not any social issues or struggles being
addressed within the painting, I do believe that if she was to run for president or any other
political position, she would fight for not only women’s rights, but she would
also fight for other equalities such as race and sexual equalities. I chose to
write about this poster because I feel that Michelle Obama is a national figure
who is looking to not only fight to change America, but to change the world in showing
not only a woman could be President, but a fully African American person could
be president too.
